2007 Summit Picture Thread

With enough Maggots at Silverton to properly destroy that place, I was hoping to see some pix. Post em’ up if you got em!

Here are a few from Silverton and the Telluride “Yurt Hut” trip. Mad props to Buster for the day at Silverton and reidhresko for setting up the “Luxury Powder”, pimpin’ out the digs, blazing trail, playing tour guide and chauffeur! Good times. :yourock:

Sorry if I didn’t catch all the names…..

By the time we realized reid’s helmet cam wasn’t working I only had time to catch part of marshal’s line, but you’ll get the idea.

Looking for the speed limit on 183 Goats



Another lap

Day Four - Telluride Backcountry

Telluride with $39 lift tickets! No rhyme or reason, just as long as you have a pass to another mountain, or not;)

You know it’s going to be a fun day when only your friends are on the lift

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3.../chairlift.jpg

Sorry for the lack of action shots going down Nellies (I think). I was dealing with my first reverse camber and sidecut ski, and needless to say, I pretty much flailed down the entire thing.

gearjunkie1 made the trip from Rifle to hike up out of our run (background)

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...ns/nellies.jpg

All and all a FKNA trip! Thanks again to everyone for making it happen. It was really nice to put some faces with the names!:) :yourock: :yourock: :)

reidhresko is a fine box of wine.

Nice shots, P4B. Even though that was a NEAR-Gosey, not totally a NON-Gosey. ;)

I've got a BUNCH of pictures to sort through. I must have shot at least 50 or 60 at Silverton alone, but I still have no internet (or even a computer). I'll try to upload from the library this week.

Judging from the snow on Friday at Telluride, my guess is that you guys had a stupid amount of fun at Alta Lakes. Good on ya!

Very much fun at Silverton. Great day.

Not to mention that I love this picture:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...ains/trees.jpg

and cold_smoke gets the shot of the weekend.

Great shots! Would have loved to be there.

Fun was had! Peoples was gooood! Smiley teeth were at a high. Malted beverages were consumed. I kicked my ass (multiple days in a row).

HUDGE KUDOS to our host Arron and most gracious hostess Jen and all thier staff. Thanks!!! You all are the greatest! :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:



As always, it's fun to hook up and meet, and put actual names and faces to, our bretheren and sisteren of the wacky world of Maggotdom. You are all a great crowd, and you too :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

A small sample of evidence follows

GFP coming out of the straightline trying to dump some speed. He can inform you about his speed dumping technique which happened immediately after this shot was captured.

...and then I put the camera away... cuz I was busy playin the rest of the day.

But I did get one of the playground the next day from up on Red #3. (West side)
http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/a...1&d=1175534401


I suggest maggots/ettes do this Silverton gathering more often... much more often.:D :D :D

A big Fuck You to all that went ;)


I bet that did not suck.

Alta lakes looks $$. Looks like an awesome time.

:cool:

iski, there is enough stuff within a few hrs of the hut to keep busy for a month.

A big thanks to reidhresko for setting up the huts, a big thanks to Buster for setting up the day at Silverton, and big thanks to all the mags and non-mags who showed up. It was great meeting, drinking and skiing with everyone.

Inspiring!

While we weren't with the "summit group" we were in the same neighborhood.

Nothin like 4 days of POW in a row in the end of March :D

ahh man, aspen was pretty good, but it looks like I left at exactly the wrong time!

PS you guys suck! (:

Agreed on the Alta Lakes sessions! Looks Awesome:yourock:

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

More Alta Lakes stoke coming soon....Big Up to reidhresko for always being the man with the plan.

Funny that no one mentioned my cheese grating incident....Butter looks a lot like cheese when it is sitting next to the grater:D

drink, laugh, slay pow, repeat

Hahahaaaaa, forgot about that, but no one will ever complain about having more butter:D

Excellent! I've camped and hiked the Alta Lakes area in the summer, looks absolutely killer in the winter.

Keep the pics coming...

Must have been a nice outing!

Sooooooo.... Was that a Maggot mobile (dark toyota w/ topper) that was saved by the "lone tree" on the curve that kept it from going over the edge and ending up in the creek??? (Apres-apres-ski thurs).

Close call and it looked like they had to stop and clean out the shorts a few curves later...

Inquiring minds want to know.

Rightly seconded, but an additional big thanks to you, spkfrk and steve, gearjunkie, and Summit for my lodging for the week. You rule. All of you.

I skied some interesting lines at Silverton--some stuff I don't normally get to do. I think I even skied my first "coulior", and it was freakin' sweet. Hot DAMN what a fun time I had this week.

I will reiterate that reidhresko sounded to be working his freakin' ass off to get a working plan for the weekend. That dude's got some organizational skills and a high regard for his fellow schralpers, judging from the amount of time I could hear him planning the expedition. Right on, sir. (Kinda glad I dropped out last minute--wouldn't have been able to keep up with you guys possibly on the downhill but definitely on the up. Thanks for the option anyway!)
